Ipswich vs Arsenal EFL Cup Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
Arsenal have the depth and defensive quality to make it seven consecutive wins in all competitions to start the season and are tipped to advance from this EFL Cup third round tie away to Ipswich with another clean sheet.
Unsurprisingly, Arsenal are the early pacesetters in the Premier League, winning all four of their games and conceding just once - a somewhat fortuitous volley in the opening minutes to Chelsea's Morgan Rogers.
Mikel Arteta's side are stable and settled. Their defence remains rock solid and their attack gets the job done without being overly spectacular.
The depth Arsenal have assembled over the last couple of seasons serves them well for situations like this, where they can rotate their squad and still be a very strong chance of emerging with the win.
Ipswich have had their moments this season, but they were comprehensively beaten when coming up against the likes of Man United and Liverpool, losing 5-2 and 2-0 respectively.
That suggests the Tractor Boys will most likely struggle against the reigning Premier League champions, even if Arsenal rotate heavily.
Another Arsenal win to nil with Under 3.5 goals are the plays for this one (small stakes only in EFL Cup early round ties), while Viktor Gyokeres will be eager to impress after losing his starting striker spot to Kai Havertz.
Ipswich vs Arsenal Stats & Trends
- Arsenal have won all six of their games in all comps this season

- Ipswich have lost two of their last three games, failing to score vs Liverpool at home
- Gyokeres scored twice in the cups last term & could start this one in a rotated side
- Arsenal made the EFL Cup final last term, winning their first two games to nil with Under 3.5 goals
- Ipswich have only been beyond the EFL Cup third round once since 2011
Ipswich vs Arsenal Head To Head
Arsenal hold a 32-18 record over Ipswich, with 11 draws. The Gunners have won five of the last six meetings, including three straight without conceding.
Ipswich Form Analysis
Decent start to the season for newly-promoted Ipswich.
Gary O'Neill's side sit in 10th spot on the ladder with two wins from their opening four games, beating Sunderland at home and Crystal Palace away.
Ipswich prevailed in a 3-2 thriller over Palace this past weekend, with new signing Zian Flemming scoring the winner in stoppage time.
However, the Tractor Boys have already leaked seven goals to Liverpool and Man United, demonstrating they are very much still a work in progress when it comes to matching the bigger teams.
Ipswich eased past Leicester 3-1 to open their EFL Cup campaign.
Ipswich Team News
Brazilian striker Emersonn was also on target in the win over Palace, but picked up a quad injury and likely won't be risked here.
That opens the door for former Burnley striker Flemming to start this one. Jack Taylor will be sidelined for the next few weeks with a knee injury, but Azor Matusiwa could return soon from a thigh problem.
Julio Enciso has been highly influential in the final third since rejoining the club after an impressive World Cup and is the man most likely to do any damage here.
Ipswich Possible Starting XI (4-4-1-1): Christian Walton; Dara O'Shea, Issa Diop, Jacob Greaves, Leif Davis; Florentino, Exequiel Palacios; Jaden Philogene, Julio Enciso, Daizen Maeda; Zian Flemming
Arsenal Form Analysis
Arsenal fans can't have any complaints about how their side have started the season.
The Gunners have won all six of their games in all competitions, adding four league victories to their Community Shield triumph over Man City and Champions League win over Napoli.
Arteta's side have only conceded once in those six games and are top of the Premier League table on goal difference over rivals Man City.
After edging out Napoli 1-0 on the road, Arsenal backed it up with a hard-fought 2-0 win away to Sunderland on the weekend, with Bruno Guimaraes breaking the deadlock with a cracking strike before Bukayo Saka iced the game with a late penalty.
Arsenal Team News
Ben White went off early against Sunderland, meaning Jurrien Timber was rushed back into action and he could start this one.
Cristhian Mosquera (muscle), while William Saliba (back) remain long-term absentees.
The likes of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, Max Dowman, Mikel Merino and Martin Zubimendi could all feature in a rotated team.
Arsenal Possible Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Jurrien Timber, Ezri Konsa, Piero Hincapie, Myles Lewis-Skelly; Martin Zubimendi, Bruno Guimaraes; Max Dowman, Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke; Viktor Gyokeres
